Raining in the bus. Yus! Early this morning I climbed aboard and explained, "It's market day." Driver smiled and nodded so I advanced carrying a 20 X 16 inch tray half full of water and full of nine 3oz bunches of parsley. After placing the tray on the luggage-shelf four and a half feet from the floor I went to show the machine my card. "At least your doing something right," driver replied when I told him the stall-holder had agreed to receive another delivery. Tout va bien until driving uphill he took the Hinderclay corner ... un peu trop vite. You've guessed! Tray slid, water splashed like a torrent onto the vehicle floor and coursed along the broad windowsill! After mopping, ineffectually, with a pocket tissue I spent the remaining 15 miles apologizing and warning passengers of the slippery floor.
Hello, Carol and Lizy. Thanks for the comments. I think roots need to be in water, if poss. A local said he'd drive me to town. Tray containing less water for the parsley could stand in the boot.
I have brought home plants from NI in my luggage by using the plastic bag method. Or a plastic bottle cut in half then sellotaped shut with a plant inside wrapped in damp kitchen roll.
